Medicine: Fallout Remedy?

The major menace of radioactive strontium is that chemically it behaves
too much like calcium. The human body must have calcium, especially for
its bones, but it makes little distinction between calcium and
strontium. So when there is strontium around, it picks that up tooand
deposits it in the bones where the radioactive forms can do the
most harm.* When doctors try to flush strontium out of the system, the
body is similarly undiscriminating: it is likely to get rid of too
much calcium at the same time.
